he already said it didn't go into second, If he pulls the lever down to 2 what makes you think that will make it go to 2nd? The lever doesn't control ****, the computer makes all the decisions. So instead of telling him to manually downshift bc that "force" the trans into 2nd which it wont, just tell him to slow down before he races. Your understanding of how the auto-trans works = 
OP, your friend is an idiot, his car isnt a "factory freak" its got more done to it
Congrats on your times, easy mid-12s with some decent tires.

Damn man, I have more bolt-ons and in shitty weather with street tires I only managed a 13.6 with a 2.1 60'. I'm talking 90* hella humid. What kind of weather did you run in?

Hmmm that's kind of odd there guy. My Formula with 2.73's sometimes gets first at 40mph then other times it wont downshift to first at 35mph. But I can pull it down to first all the way up to 45mph and it gets it everytime. Might wanna check that out if you think the shift lever is for looks and a single shift from park to drive.

Wow! 
that a4 trans will do just good in a punch from 70mph ive held my own plenty of times from that speed... And, to the OP those are great times for the mods you have! I need tires and maybe I could be 12's

thats an awsome time.
I wish we had the D.A. here that you have there... were almost always at 6000-6500ft
at 6300ft i could pull a 13.00 @ 104.8mph thats my best on ET streets.
im sure with some suspension stuff and ALOT better track with around a 1200-2000 D.A.
i could sqeeze out some 12.20's mabe...
good luck.. get a stall and never look back!
